Taps: 5: Total: 5703.
Rolled w four BBs, two Brwns (from old days), couple of Purps.
Spent a lot of time under Spiderweb, defending my arm, usually hanging on til time ran out. Need to work on escapes ...
and Passing, and Side top maintenance, Mount maintenance, and Passing, and Passing.
Going to miss the next couple of sess, due to being out of town.
Fingers starting to cramp up again; it's been awhile since that has happened, prob before the pandemic.
Taps: 4. Total: 5698.
Twenty-one peeps in attendance. Nine Black Belts.
BB Tarca showed a Guard Pull to Butterfly Sweep Takedown. Make sure post foot on same side as you have arm/sleeve control, fall then hook/sweep with other foot.
BB Mike showed a Snap Down to Fireman Carry Takedown (one of my favs).
Not many peeps asking me to roll bc they are confused by my faded Brown Belt. It looks almost White. Or maybe a faded Black.
Def getting less rolls in, but that's ok bc i'm slowly working my way back into shape.
Doing better w/ my Half game, but still ways to go.
Need to work on Side ESC, Side top maintenance, Passing.
Taps: 5. Total: 5694.
Wore headgear. Right ear colored purple from last sess.
Black Steve (who runs his own school) was there, and shut down my Half game w back step into Saddle and knee bar twice.
Blue one hand -- tapped me three times. Slowly slowly trying to shut down his game. Heavy Half passer into Mount, threaten kimura, then transitions to Arm Triangle. Heavy pressure.
My half game -- need Knee Shield to get create distance, need to STOP cross face to get space for Knee Shield.
Saw Blue girl using High Guard from Closed Guard -- i forgot how much i like that. Need to look into that again.
Last week, back tightened up after third roll. This week, not til 5th roll, so that's progress.
Taps 5: Total: 5689.
Last training before surgery: Dec 8, 2019.
One session post surgery: Mar 9, 2020.
Back today: May 9, 2021 -- year and half layoff.
So i've forgot about 50% of my techs. Gassed out on the second roll, back seized up on the third, and played defensively the rest of the three rolls. Tapped to Blue and a White.
Rolled with Brown, 2 Black, Blue, and a White. Stepped backwards bc i forgotten alot of my Half Guard techniques that bailed me out in troublesome situations.
Need to review: Mount Esc, Passing, Leite Half, and host of other stuff, but so good to be back.
